A Million Reasons
Summary: after a phone call from Penelope, Reader teases Spencer about a potential love interest and things don’t go exactly as planned.
Pairing: Spencer Reid x gn!reader
Category: fluff with a little angst
TW/CW: a little bit of angst, brief mentions of food, self-doubt, mentions of anxiety, kissing
Word Count: 1.2k
Thank you @drgenius-reid for taking the time to beta-read this!
The following work is my entry for @andiebeaword's 3,000 Follower Celebration Writing Challenge (prompt n. 12) and is also part of the series Spencer Reid, my beloved
Tumblr media
Spencer scooped out of the paper cup what was left of his ice cream before he finished recounting the events leading to the arrest of the unsub the entire BAU team had been successfully tracking down in Seattle during the past few days. 
“He’ll be charged with ten counts of murder, one attempted murder, and unlawful possession of multiple weapons. He’s facing ten life sentences without parole.”
“Way to go, Justice League!” you cheered, enthusiastic. 
He tucked his hair behind his ear with a cute chuckle. His sleeves were rolled up to the elbow so you caught a glimpse of his wristwatch reflecting the light of a lamp post standing along the edge of the walking path; from the bench you were both sitting on you could see the illuminated dome of the US Capitol rising up against the dark mid-summer sky. 
Despite being within walking distance of a major street in the southwest quadrant of Washington, the park was quiet and uncrowded and the nearby gelato shop was one of Spencer’s favorites. 
You took the last sip of your drink, acting very casual. “And that’s all that happened?” 
He shrugged, unsure about which crucial information could have been missing from his story since he was under strict instructions not to fill you in on the most gruesome details of the cases he’d worked.
“Uhm, graphic descriptions of tortures and mutilations are not—”
“I’m talking about a certain homicide detective… the one you gave your number to…?” you explained and his jaw dropped instantly.
“What?!”
You nudged at him with your elbow. “Garcia called me from the Original Starbucks in Pike Place. I couldn’t tell if the hype was about your new admirer or being there.”
“I don't understand how this is such a big deal!” he blurted out in a high-pitched voice. “She showed an interest in what we do so I gave her my card.”
No profiling skills were required to detect his firm intention to avoid discussing the matter, yet the words came out of your mouth like a river in spate. 
“Any chance it wasn’t only a professional interest?”
The way Spencer looked at you, disappointed and hurt, hit you worse than a punch in the liver. 
“What’s with you, guys?! Are– are you all so invested in my personal life because you’re convinced I’m chronically unable to have one without your help?” he snapped, something you’d never seen him do. 
“I’m s—” you tried to reply, even though he was still too angry to let you apologize and cut you off again.
“Or maybe it’s that I’m no Derek Morgan, so why would someone even notice I exist, right?”
“Seriously?! An IQ of 187 and this is the best inference you can come up with?” you snorted, upset by the subtle insult he’d thrown at you - even if you had to admit you deserved it.
His brows furrowed. “Then why did you bring this up?” 
“I didn’t mean to pry, I’m sorry. I truly am,” you admitted, “and the Derek Morgan type is not the one I’d go for, just so you know. I don’t think that people hitting on you is funny or weird, it’s… I’m just surprised it doesn’t happen more often. There, I said it.”
He remained silent for a while, quite aware that Penelope’s inability to keep her mouth shut generated from genuine excitement about what she perceived as good news; sharing such personal information with you meant you had been put to the test over and over and, in the end, deemed worthy of her trust. 
The peaceful atmosphere around you served as an amplifier for the sound of splashing water and Spencer indicated the fountain at the center of the large, round basin in front of you with a jerk of his head. 
“I read a book about the architectural history of D.C. on the way back. This piece was created for the 1876 Centennial International Exhibition in Philadelphia, the US Congress acquired it in 1877 and placed it at the base of Capitol Hill. It was dismantled in 1926, then it remained in storage until 1932 when they moved it here.”
The pedestal held three twin iron-casted sea nymphs wearing wet tunics, with their arms raised above their heads to support a shallow vasque; on top was a group of kneeling child tritons, and the base was decorated with turtle-like aquatic creatures.
“It’s beautiful,” you mumbled.
The fact he’d for sure started and finished said book in less than fifteen minutes was among the 999.999 entries in your list of reasons to crush over SSA Reid.  And so were his three PhDs, his crooked ties, his passion for Star Wars, chess and Halloween.
“I don’t talk much about my private life. Especially outside of work,” he confessed after a pause. “A lot of times I have a hard time discussing personal issues—”
“Spencer… you know you don’t owe me an explanation, right?” you rushed to clarify.
He nodded and you did the same in response, to confirm you had no intention of pressuring him into opening up if he felt uncomfortable yet you were also ready to listen to anything he had to say; even in dim light, you could see the sadness veiling his beautiful hazel eyes.   
“Garcia was being Garcia, with her ‘look at the world through rose-colored glasses’ scenarios. I gave my card to a homicide detective to discuss behavioral sciences, it was just what it sounds like. But I understand where she’s coming from, I never told her…”
Your whole body tensed up, courtesy of a rush of anxiety triggered by the possibility of him being already involved with someone he had never mentioned, not even to his closest friends; you wondered if he could hear the butterflies fluttering in your stomach.
Luckily for you, Spencer didn’t seem to notice.
“I’m trying to come to terms with something I’ve been feeling, for weeks now. And I’m worried, because of what happened in the past and I can’t let go of…” his voice broke a little, so he swallowed. “Deep down I’m afraid I'm not the type of person who gets to live out happily ever after.” 
Refraining from hugging him on the spot and holding him close to your heart had gotten increasingly difficult lately, so you settled for a peck on his temple in a clumsy attempt at a comforting gesture.
You feared the worst when he looked at you for a moment that seemed to last forever; you certainly didn’t expect him to lean forward to cup your face in his hands - big hands.  With slender, elegant fingers he tenderly brushed over your cheeks.
You both held your breath, waiting for the distance between you to vanish until your foreheads touched and the tips of your noses rubbed together. 
“... are we really doing this?!” he whispered, sending shivers down your spine.
You smiled. “Don’t make me wait for another six months.”
Spencer squinted, an indication he was browsing countless data stored in his memory, then he eventually pinpointed the exact moment you fell for him and squeaked in surprise. 
“Christm—”
You pressed your palm on the nape of his neck, guiding his lips over yours for what you both had been longing for. 
Reason number 1.000.000: Dr. Reid was one hell of a kisser.

oh my god! 🤩 trick or treat!! 👻🖤
I recall you were ok with mpreg (?). If not, send me another ask I'll give you non-abo 👀 🖤
Tumblr media
Light chilly wind tickled the pages of the book that the omega held on his knees, and whined pitifully after failed attempts to capture his attention. Bundled up in black leather, scratchy wool and furs, Stiles watched a couple of birds stealing bits of frozen fat from the feeder, yet his mind was far away. A tender smile kept tugging the corner of his mouth up.
They were going to have a baby.
Stiles closed his eyes and huffed at the silly grin that took over his lips. He’d been like that for days now, feeling like he could float above the ground and dance with the snowflakes from how happy and light he felt.
He always thought that pregnancy would be a dark time for him. Looming death aside, he worried that he wouldn’t want a child from someone he despised, would break at the thought of another being living inside him. Yet, with Derek…
Stiles’ heart fluttered, as he traced the black droplets of words on the page.
Derek.
His precious face after he learned about the babe was still fresh in Stiles’ mind. His eyes were wide in fear, his closed mouth tight in awe and disbelief. When Derek told him what beautiful sound had just reached his ears, Stiles grinned and laughed, and swept his alpha in a victorious embrace. He didn’t say a word about the glistening of Derek’s eyes, how tight the alpha held him, or how he kept choking on words of love and gratuitousness.
Their little heaven, that’s what it was.
Oh, they would be so joyous, the three of them! They would—
Stiles frowned. He blinked the world back into his mind and inclined his head.
Someone was breathing heavily.
The omega turned his head this way and that yet saw no one. He was hiding from curious people in the gardens, just a touch inside of the crusted walls of the pine labyrinth. Stiles only dared to go far when Derek was beside him.
Someone stifled a moan.
With his heart slamming on his ribs, Stiles stood up, and looked closely into the needly teal blue bushes, but—
Stiles went still.
A man, broad and red in the face, stood hidden behind the bald spot in the wall. He was noble, from the looks of his clothes. His intense, half-lidded gaze was set on Stiles, as he took quick inhales. One of his hands was down near his groin, and he was—
Stiles shut his half-opened mouth, fighting the stomach bile that rose in his throat, swiveled around and ran.
It felt like, all of a sudden, he was covered in slimy dirt, gobbled up by the deepest moor with no way out.
The thin cover of snow crunched under his feet, and his breathing trailed after him like a cloud. The pikes of the castle towers sliced the grey sky above him. He needed to get inside. Away from… from…
His appeal would haunt him forever, Stiles realized, and even marriage wasn’t able to guarantee him peace. They smiled at him, while their gazes trailed across his body; they said nice things, yet who knew what was on their minds?
No wonder no one dared to speak to him in Derek’s presence. The wolf would’ve sniffed the lies out.
He would never go outside alone again. Fuck this. He would whine and tease, but he would drag Derek out of his boring meetings to have a stroll without men watching him and—
Stiles let out a sharp shout as someone caught his wrist.
“Don’t tell him,” a deep but pleading voice uttered.
Stiles inhaled sharply at the sight of the same man, then quickly broke out of his hold and stepped back.
“Don’t you touch me,” his voice trembled from anger and disgust.
The man’s face was red from the cold. His small brown eyes hooked onto Stiles’ face, with an animal fear trashing in them.
“He’ll kill me,” he exclaimed, following after Stiles. “Please, I— I haven’t even done anything—”
“You did enough,” Stiles bared his teeth, walking backward.
The man’s face went white. He lifted his hands, ready to fold them in prayer. “You cannot blame me for your beauty. You’re a curse to us all. You don’t even know how many of us you—” he stuttered, noticing something behind Stiles, then let out a scream and took off running.
Stiles didn’t even have time to turn, as a dozen warrior wolves swept past him in pursuit. Cold air burned his throat, as he stared at the inevitable. They would catch him. That man wasn’t—
He let out a scream, as someone grabbed his shoulders, and dropped his book. His heart stuttered as he saw who it was.
“What did he do?” Derek snarled, looking over Stiles’ face.
The wolf caught him, as Stiles sagged against him. Pushing his face into Derek’s chest, Stiles gulped greedily, grounding himself in the safety of his scent. His hands clutched at the lapels of the wolf’s big coat.
Derek pulled him close with his arms sliding across his back. “Tell me.”
Stiles squeezed his eyes shut, fighting the sour burning in his throat. “Nothing, he… He watched me and…”
“And?”
“Pleasured himself.”
Derek’s silence covered Stiles’ skin in goosebumps.
He didn’t want to look, but as the screaming got louder, as the excited yips and growls grew closer, Stiles turned his head and nearly flinched.
The wolves dropped the blood-covered pale man at their feet and stepped back. He didn’t try to run again, instead shaking uncontrollably and pleading for something.
Derek took Stiles’ chin and turned his head to look into his eyes.
His irises were burning fire.
“I want you to watch.”
It was an order, the one that Stiles found himself immediately nodding over. Derek wanted to show him something. So he would.
A strange calmness settled over him, as Derek’s hands left him. Stiles watched in detachment as Derek walked over slowly to the cowering man and inclined his head.
“Did you like what you saw?” he asked in what seemed like a normal voice. Yet, his eyes still burned.
The man sniffled. “N-no.”
Derek smirked. “Liar.”
He began circling the man with measured steps, his hands locked behind his back.
“You think I don’t know the feeling?” he asked. “I know how my mate looks. How he smells. Can you smell him?”
“No, no, please…” the man slobbered over himself, shaking his head.
“Right, you can’t. You’re human.” Suddenly, he turned his head towards the wolves. “But you can.”
Stiles had never seen the warrior wolves this still. Some whined, some stood frozen with their ears flattened and backs hunched, pressed down by the force of submission.
The winds picked up.
“I know how it feels to look at him,” Derek continued, pinning a dozen wolves with one stare. “I am no different to you in that desire. He’s divine, isn’t he?” Derek met Stiles’ wide gaze and smiled coldly, before turning back. “All of you want him in your bed — or, anywhere, really. I hear what you whisper amongst yourselves, I see where your gaze falls.”
The nobleman made a pathetic sight. He seemed to stop listening to his leader, and just pleaded, shaking his head and rocking back and forth. The wolves stood frozen.
Derek put his foot under the man’s chin and lifted it from the ground, before catching his face in his hands. Long claws pierced through his cheeks, forcing a wail out of the damned soul.
Stiles shivered but continued watching.
“My mate is irresistible, yet my wolves learned to resist,” Derek murmured, studying the man’s snot-covered face. “I don’t think you would.”
“No! Have mercy! I will resist, I would never look at him anymore—”
Derek smiled. “Of that I am sure.”
He cupped the man’s cheeks, put the tips of his claws against the man’s eyes and pushed.
This, Stiles couldn’t bear. He closed his eyes and turned away, but the blood-curdling scream still reached his ears.
And it didn’t stop.
Stiles could barely hear Derek’s “Make his death slow, else you’ll suffer the same fate.” to his wolves over the wailing. This time, when the alpha took him by the shoulders, he didn’t flinch.
“Let’s go have a bath,” Derek muttered to him, his voice gentle as always. “You must be cold…”
Stiles laid his hand over Derek’s and held it, seeking reassurance in the slick hot bloodied skin.
“Join me?” he asked quietly, barely heard over the sound of tearing flesh and sharp cries.
“If I ever refuse, consider me dead.”

Have you ever thought to yourself: Yee howdy, I wish I could know what everyone thinks of my favorite character, and I also wish we could all definitively rank them in popularity based on the whims of the public? Then do I have the thing for you!
Right out the gate, it's time to vote for favorite characters. The votes for favorite NPC (human) and favorite NPC (other) will be running alongside each other, with the vote for NPC (other) starting a little later to make them both finish at the same time and end in an epic dual victory.
I have chosen to split them up because there's a lot of NPC's and we can expedite the process somewhat by having separate tournaments running alongside each other.
Humanoid creatures such as Pandorians residing in the circus will be counted as humans because that's how they choose to present and I will respect that.
Certain conditions apply regarding characters added to SSO just to host races, NPC's that are named but do not take part in quests, and characters from earlier games. these characters will not partake because the list is so. long. already.
Every poll will be accompanied by a picture and a brief description to refresh your memory, so don't worry if you can't remember them just by name! If you have any concerns or can't see your favorite NPC anywhere, send a message or an ask.
The first NPC (human) tournamnet will take place over 3 sessions of 40 posts per week, because it's 120 posts and I don't want to overwhelm you with that many posts. Once we've narrowed it down to 60 favorites it will be split into 2 sessions, and once we've only got 30 contestants left, I'll post them all in one go until a winner is declared. That's also when the NPC (other) polls will be posted.

Hunted
Pairing: Liam Dunbar x reader
Warnings: Swearing, gun use, blood
Chapter: 5.16
A/N: Firstly, thank you to everyone who has stuck with this story! I'm looking forward to writing season six and hope you all enjoy the chaotic last chapter of season five
You, Liam, and Scott helped the only surviving dread doctor from the beast’s attack into the veterinarian surgery to try and save him. Hopefully he’d be able to tell you how to stop the beast once and for all.
When you entered the building, you expected to see Deaton and Stiles, but you were caught off guard by Derek. His glare bores into your face, his eyes narrowed and seething. You could understand why Stiles and Scott used to be so scared of Derek when he was mad; the look he was giving you was terrifying.
“He’s still alive,” Scott announces.
You step aside as Liam and Scott manage to place the dread doctor on the table. You and Stiles exchange a look. He motions to Derek, who is still fuming, shakes his head slightly, and mouths ‘Look at your phone.’ You nod but don’t do it in the moment, knowing it would only be more obvious.
The room is silent as Deaton starts to check the dread doctor's vitals. Everyone could sense the rising tension and didn’t want to say anything first.
“Can you keep him alive?” You ask, breaking the silence.
“I’m not sure he's technically alive,” Deaton points out.
“Screw keeping him alive. How do we get him to talk?” Liam asks.
“He’s not going to tell us anything unless there’s something in it for him.”
“Personally, I don’t think we utilise torture nearly enough,” Stiles says sarcastically.
A voice comes from outside and repeats ‘come to me’ a few times, causing the dread doctor to sit up. A high-frequency sound echoed off the walls, causing you all to clamp your hands against your ears to try and block it out. You feel an extra pair of hands covering yours. Derek. He lets out a wincing sound as sharp pains caused by the vibrations of the noise pierce his ears.
Liam attempts to stop the dread doctor that’s heading towards the doorway, but he’s knocked backwards and crashes into the wall before hitting the ground. The dread doctor makes it outside and locks the door behind him.
“Liam!” You quickly kneel beside him and ask, “Are you okay?”
“I’m—watch out!” He shoves you backwards to avoid being hit by a fast-moving object. Everything metal is drawn to one side of the room and sticks to the wall, preventing anyone from leaving.
Scott goes to move them out of the way, but Deaton stops him. “Stop! It’s electrified.”
You listen as the dead doctor, whose name was Marcel, talks to Sebastien Valet. He informs the beasts in his human form that he did all of this for him and that the Argents have the pike that could finally kill the beast.
You look down at your phone to text your uncle Chris and see the text Stiles had sent you earlier, along with all the other ones you’d received.

Shit.
That explained why Derek was so mad at you.
You avoid Derek’s eye while Deaton explains that there is still a way to save Mason by getting him to remember who he is. “How do we make him remember?”
“Lydia,” Stiles sighs. “We need Lydia to save him.”
No sooner than the words have left his lips Stiles' phone rings. “It’s my dad.”
You watch as his face turns pale and ask, “What is it?”
“It’s Lydia; she’s in the hospital.” Sebastian figured out that we could use her to save Mason and slashed her throat. He went for her voice box.
When Derek comes to a halt outside the hospital, you turn to look in the backseat where your boyfriend was sitting and say, “I’ll catch up with you inside.”
He nods and says, “Uh, thanks for the ride.”
Derek says nothing. He waits until Liam has disappeared into the building before driving into the parking lot and stopping before finally saying something. “What I said before about not asking or telling you to stay out of whatever is going on? Forget that. You're no longer involved in any of this.”
“So I’m supposed to sit back and do nothing while my friend dies?”
“Yes! You have no concept of the danger you’re putting yourself in, and until you do, I don’t want you out of my sight.”
“I can’t. I-”
“This isn’t up for negotiation! You're my daughter, and it’s my job to keep you safe!” He runs his hands over his face and lets out a noise of frustration. “So far, I’ve not done a very good job of that.”
Underneath his anger is a pile of guilt. guilt for not protecting you from Kira, for leaving you behind when hunters came looking for him, for not watching you grow up. He couldn’t lose you. You place your hand on his shoulder and say, “Me getting bitten wasn’t your fault.”
Regret flashes in his eyes. “I should have known you’d follow me into the school.”
“I should have listened, but what’s done is done. We can’t change what’s happened, but we still might be able to save Mason.”
He clenches his jaw, looking deep in thought. Judging by his facial expression, you knew whatever he was thinking was painful for him. “You’ll promise me that the second I tell you to leave, you’ll go? And you’ll take Liam with you as well?”
He gives you a stern look when you don’t answer right away, “Yes, I promise. And thank you.”
“Trust me, I don’t want you involved, but aside from locking you in a tower, I’m sure you’d find a way out somehow.”
With the mood lightened, you remembered Stiles' text message. “How did you know what happened at school between Liam and Theo?”
“I paid Theo a visit,” he said, clicking his tongue. “He won’t be coming near you again.”
You frowned. “You killed him?”
“No. Scott made me promise I wouldn’t.”
You stared at him, confused. Did Scott tell him about what happened at school? You decided you were better off not knowing. You clear your throat, knowing that what you were about to say next might actually get you locked inside a tower. “If I tell you something, promise you won’t be mad?”
You, Lydia, Liam, Scott, and Derek enter the network of tunnels and sewers underneath Beacon Hills to look for the beast. Melissa has injected Lydia with something that will help her regain her voice faster at the hospital. Right now the redhead could only whisper; you hoped her voice would heal in time.
When you come to a stop to figure out which direction you should go, you feel a dampness seeping into your shoes. You look down to see the concrete ground covered in water and hear the crackling sound of electricity becoming louder. You shove the redhead towards the wall and say, “Lydia, get out of the water!”
Seconds later, electricity shoots through the water, causing all of you, aside from Lydia, to fall to the ground, shaking and screaming in pain. Theo appears from behind Lydia and throws her down the hole, but Scott manages to catch her wrist.
Theo leans down beside Scott with a smirk on his face and stabs him in the side with his claws. “Feel that, Scott? Kanima venom.”
Kanima venom?
You manage to look at Liam and Derek and say, “He killed Tracy.”
With the venom racing through his body, Scott becomes paralyzed and lets go of Lydia. You hear her hitting the ground below, but the noise she makes afterwards lets you know she’s still alive.
You slowly regain feeling in your body and weakly manage to push yourself up. Liam helps you to your feet at the same time Deucalion arrives. Derek had told you earlier that their former enemy had been working alongside him and Scott the whole time.
You follow the former alpha of alphas through the tunnels until you find Theo, who is crawling along the ground. Rage boils deep within Theo’s veins as he figures out what is going on. “You lied to me. You and Scott…”
Deucalion crouching beside him says, “That’s right, Theo.” He says mockingly, “the whole time.”
“It would’ve never worked,” Theo says with tears of anger in his eyes.
“It could have worked if you had Belasko’s talons.”
Theo shoots you a venomous glare, “you little bitch.” Fed up hearing him talk, Deucalion twists Theo’s neck until it makes a cracking sound. “You broke my neck.”
Deucalion stands back up, “and good luck with that.” He turns his attention back to Scott. “There’s an access grate that leads to the sublevel. I think we can get to Lydia there.”
“What about Mason?”
“We can still save your friend.”
Scott locks his eyes with Deucalion’s, silently thanking him. “Let’s go.”
As you turn to walk away, two loud pops come from behind you. You turn back around and are surprised to see Gerard and your uncle Chris, who had a horrified expression on his face. It took you a few seconds to notice the gun in Gerard’s hand. You look to your left to see Deucalion sliding to the ground against the wall.
“Lu…”
You watch as Derek falls to his knees, clutching his stomach. He’s been shot. You press your hand against the bullet wound as Gerard walks closer to your small group with an arrogant look on his face. “This is a surprising alliance, Scott. You and Deucalion?” His eyes move to you, and he scoffs. “Not as much as my own granddaughter aligning herself with the Hale family.”
“You old bastard!” You yell as tears spill from your eyes and you feel more blood slip past your hand.
Gerard chuckles and looks back at Scott. “How long have you been planning this clever little double cross?”
“About as long as he and I have been planning this one,” your uncle Chris says before tossing the pike to Scott. “I knew when I brought you back that it would never be about saving lives. only about immortalizing your own.” Both Gerard and your uncle Chris point their guns at each other. “All three of you, go.”
Scott and Liam start to leave, but you shake your head, not wanting to go and not wanting to leave Derek behind.
“Lulana, you need to go now,” your uncle says.
“No.”
“Derek will be fine.”
You hesitate for a minute before you look at Derek. His pained expression softened a little, “Go, go, make me proud. I’ll be fine.” He glances over your shoulder at Liam and says, “He won’t go without you.”
You couldn’t waste any more time; you needed to go. Reluctantly, you move away from Derek and let out a sob as his body slumps against the wall. The sight of him so poorly dressed makes you want to break down in tears, but seeing the smug look on Gerard’s face angers you. One day you’d make him pay for what he did, but right now you needed to make it through the night.
Anger radiates off you; both boys could sense it. You felt like you could turn at any moment, but you tried to focus your thoughts on one thing to remain human.
Sebastien is waiting when they turn another corner; he points to the pike in Scott’s hand. “That belongs to me. It’s a family heirloom. I’d like it back, please.”
“You can have it once you give us Mason.”
Sebastien cocks his head to the side and shrugs. “Unfortunately, I would not know where to begin. And while I’ve benefited from his memories, I don’t have much use for an alter ego.”
Scott looks at you and Liam with a look that tells you to get ready. He faces Sebastien. “You want it? Come and get it.”
The best easily overpowered all three of you. Tossing all of you against the wall Sebastien turns back into his human form and wraps his hand around Scott’s neck.
You notice the pick at your feet and kick it towards Liam. He picks it up and gets ready to stab Sebastian with it, but Scott stops him. “Wait! We can still save Mason.”
“Who’s going to save you?”
“What kind of werewolf are you?” Sebastien scoffs, and he tosses Liam backwards in one swift motion. While tightening his grip on Scott’s neck, Sebastien digs his claws into the alpha memory. You didn’t know what Sebastien could see, but it took him by surprise.
Scott manages to wriggle free from Sebastien’s grasp just as Lydia and Kira arrive.
“Mason,” Lydia attempts to yell for Mason, but her voice comes out at a normal talking volume.
“I think you're going to need to try it a little louder.”
“Mason!”
You watch in amazement, finally getting to see the power of a banshee's yell. Sebastien explodes into a huge ball of black smoke, and Mason stumbles out of it.
The beast attempts to get away. Parrish, in his hellhound form, traps him, giving Scott time to throw the pike. After being impaled with the pike, the beast explodes. Scott looks around, concerned, and asks, “Is everyone okay?”
“Not everyone,” Theo hisses. Electricity sparks over his body as he storms forward in anger.
You and Kira share a smile, knowing what's about to happen next. Kira leaps forward, catching the electricity with her sword. Theo looks between the two of you as you stand beside her and say, “The skinwalkers have a message for you, Theo. Your sister wants to see you.”
Kira stabs her sword into the ground, causing it to crack. A hole appears in the concrete beside Theo, and a dirtied and bloodied hand comes out of it and reaches for him. His sister. She grabs his legs and drags her brother into the hole as he screams for help. Once Theo is in the ground, the concrete automatically closes up again.
Liam walks up behind you, rests his forehead against your shoulder, and says, “It’s over. We have Mason back.”
You wanted to celebrate your friend being saved, but you couldn’t. “I need to find Derek.”
You sit on the edge of your bed, carefully braiding damp sections of your hair while listening to your friend talk. He was sitting on the chair beside your vanity table, his eyes occasionally glancing over the different pictures you have hanging on the wall beside it. He muses, “Stiles thinks Allison and Marie-Jeanne Valet must have looked alike, and that’s how my memories of Allison distracted Sebastian long enough for me to get away.”
You smile, thinking of the first time Allison told you about a cute guy she was going on a date with, neither of them knowing how important they would be to each other. Even in death, Allison still managed to save someone she loved. “Wow, she saved you.”
Scott smiles at you from across the room. “She did.”
You notice his smile fading into a much sadder look. “What’s wrong?”
“I just can’t help but wonder how different things would be if she were here.”
You laugh softly and say, “Imagine her reaction to finding out Derek Hale is my dad? God, she would not be happy.”
“How are things between you and Derek now?”
You talk to him about your growing relationship with Derek and your complicated one with the rest of the Argents. In return, Scott tells you about his estranged relationship with his own father.
“Is this really how you want to spend our school holidays?”
“Yes,” you laugh. “What else could we do?”
You go to start running again, but Liam catches you and wraps his arms around your waist, pulling you closer to him. He kisses your cheek, then your neck, making you giggle. “I can think of so many things that are better than this.”
You kiss him on the lips before slipping from his grasp and running into the tree line. It was nighttime, so no one else was around aside from you and Liam.
Once Derek had made a full recovery, he put a few rules in place. 1) You must let him know where you are at all times. 2) Learn self-defense. 3) Liam wasn’t allowed to stay over unless he slept in a different room. 4) You had to learn how to control your heart rate. Stiles suggested someone should make you angry so your heart rate would rise, but the idea was quickly shot down by one glare from Derek. Instead, you and Liam would play a game of cat and mouse in the forest. The adrenaline from being hunted caused your heart rate to rise, but so far you’d only lost control and changed a few times.
You were too lost in your own thoughts to notice Liam creeping up behind you. He pounced and easily pinned you to the ground. His hands rested on your hips. “Maybe this isn’t such a bad idea after all.”
You smiled as he nuzzled your neck.
Things had been good since the beast died, and the McCall pack was slowly healing. Your alpha seemed a lot happier; the only downside was that Kira had left, but you understood why she had to return to the skinwalkers. Scott bit Hayden, turning her into a real werewolf, and Lydia’s voice has returned to normal. You were slowly building a relationship with Malia, and Derek surprised everyone by thanking Liam for always defending you and keeping you safe the best he could.
“Can I ask you something?”
Even in the darkness, you could make out how sheepish Liam looked. “When we were in the tunnels, you said you almost lost control and turned. What stopped you?”
“You did,” you lean up and kiss him again, “you're my anchor.”

Make It So Friday
Tumblr media
This is the fictional autobiography of Captain Benjamin Sisko, who was the Commander of Deep Space Nine for many years. It’s at the moment, the final autobiography about the big three 60s/90s Captains (and Spock).
Like the others it tells his whole story from birth to pretty much our current day (real life 2023/2024) and the canon that goes with that. But, in the case of this book, I have to say that it was a lot more non-linear than the others. And, not just in a prophet sort of way, but, also, the book jumps around quite a bit in Sisko’s life. Such a fun read. And, I really hope that they do more. Jonathan Archer, Christopher Pike, maybe a really really fictional one like an autobiography about Rachel Garrett, or my dream, an autobiography about Nyota Uhura? (It wouldn’t definitely have to be done by the correct writer, but it could be done!) I can wish and hope.
You may like this book If you Liked: Harm's Way by David Mack, The Last Best Hope by Una McCormack, or The Autobiography of Jean-Luc Picard by David A. Goodman

Future Project
Prologue: Discovery
Year: 2157 CE (Standard Terran Calendar) Location: Von Colony
Derek had been agitated from some discovery in the “global archives” buried deep. Whatever it was must have been awful - or better have been to be worth getting out of bed this early.
But no one, nothing, could have prepared Sophia for what she saw. Arthur was already there. So was Alice. “I thought it was a myth.”
“No. He was…that kind of person definitely leaves a memoir. I believed it when I heard about it. But…this…I never thought I’d be looking at it.”
“What am I looking at?”
“The Nihilus Testament. The manifesto of Nils Andover and his Inner Circle.”
Year: 328 AC (Gaianist Calendar) During the Surge (Almost 200 years later)
Location: Nihilon Camp Ruin, Frostreach, 27 Kilometers from Seattle.
Pike could barely believe the artifact he held. Bound in laminated pages, still effective, legible after all these years. Vile, the lamination. Poisonous. But it had maintained an artifact from the old world, one he had scarcely believed existed. One that…
Year: 352 AC
Location: Arcata, Archives
Tyler looked at the item they had been handed by River. “This is…”
“Recovered by Pike during the mop up after the surge. It’s…the only known copy.” 
Tyler looked at it, and then identified the seal on it, and felt sick, as though the pages had been made of human skin rather than laminated paper. “This is…his. Nils Andover’s.” “Or from his first Disciples, yeah. We could read it. Learn what…makes someone like that. We’re supposed to learn, not just bury.”
Reed took a breath. 
***
The first chapter had revealed the worst horror they could have imagined.
Nils Andover, the False Messiah, Accelerationist Demon of the Old World, Nihilus Rex…
As a young man, he hadn’t been that different from any of them. Just in a world that bred monsters.
Knowing what he’d become just made it that much worse.
Nihilus Rex
From the beginning, you know the End.

review roundup: billions 7x08 “the owl”
what a waste of my time! what did reviewers think?
New York Times: ‘Billions’ Season 7, Episode 8 Recap: Going Nuclear
Mike Prince is trying to do the right thing. A man for whom his wife, Andy, cares deeply has had a mountain-climbing accident in the Himalayas. He is injured and alone, in the path of a storm, running out of food and stranded on the Chinese side of the mountains. Mike has the resources to arrange a successful extraction, even under these physically and politically dangerous conditions. To rescue the man means risking an international incident and potentially ending his presidential campaign. Not to rescue him means the man will die, and Andy will lose someone who is more to her than a friend.
fascinated by the vagueness of the description of andy’s relationship to derek here.
In this secluded environment — clearly modeled after the Bohemian Grove, right down to the choice of its avian mascot — the nearly all-male elite can mix, mingle, urinate in the open air, go streaking through the snow, participate in tests of strength with offensive names and generally enjoy the rights and privileges of being right and privileged.
get their asses!
Known to friends and foes alike as “Fourth,” Pike is there to decide which of these self-conceptualized common-sense mavericks deserves his backing. He gets his answer in the most horrifying sequence this show has seen since Bobby Axelrod paid a doctor to let a patient die.
i can imagine there were more horrifying sequences, but i can’t think of any right now. (though who knows what the last four episodes might hold? we already know a fresh angle on the printer throwing scene is in there…)
Watching this room full of rich men discuss the incineration of millions as if they’re swapping fantasy football strategies is repulsive; there’s no other way to put it. It’s everything wrong with how decisions are made in this country, as wealthy people in no danger of facing consequences for their actions debate idly which lives are and aren’t worthless when stacked against the overriding importance of their own comfort and ambitions.
i love it when sean goes off like this. it’s a breath of fresh air next to sarene’s “prince is trump, no further questions your honor” analysis and kyle’s “i don’t think michael prince is a dangerous fascist” t-shirt.
Chuck’s quest to stop Prince from reaching the White House — like the parallel sabotage campaign led by Wendy, Wags and Taylor — is predicated on the idea that no man this free of self-doubt belongs anywhere near power, let alone the kind of power present in the nuclear football.
TAYLOR MENTIONED.jpg
Chuck leaves, visibly shaken. If self-styled guardians of the soul of the nation like Fourth don’t understand that they’re selling that soul by backing Prince, what hope does he have? Which raises another question: Is “Billions” the most chilling show on television right now? And I’m not talking about the wintry setting of this week’s episode. Like virtually every episode since Prince’s presidential ambitions became clear, “The Owl” casts an unflinching eye on the danger posed to American democracy by megalomaniacal strongmen, by the ultra-rich, and especially by the people who are both. In a sense, this is covered ground for the show. Chuck already took on billionaire overreach when he battled Bobby Axelrod for five seasons. His conflicts with the pointedly unnamed presidential administration in power in the show’s universe from 2017 to 2021, represented by odious officials like Attorney General Jock Jeffcoat and Todd Krakow, made a clear argument that authoritarianism, corruption and reactionary politics are correlated phenomena. But since Axe never got directly involved in politics, and since the former president was never depicted as an on-screen character, “Billions” has never had such an opportunity to explore all these issues up close by embodying them in one man. And in an episode that depicts the threat he presents in the starkest, most existential terms imaginable, it’s worth noting what that one man actually does.
📣📣📣
To its credit, “Billions” has long presented sexual fetishism and kink not as a source of comedy (OK, not only as a source of comedy), let alone as a marker of deep psychological dysfunction. It has always been presented more as just a part of the sex lives of countless basically normal people (OK, normal by “Billions” standards). It picks up this torch again in a subplot involving Wags’s discovery that he has a certain scatological fetish that initially sends his wife, Chelz (Caroline Day), fleeing from the room. (“Stop saying words out of your mouth!” she stammers in one of the best lines of the night.) When Wendy explains to Chelz that the fetish represents Wags’s desire to be loved unconditionally, despite even the most repugnant parts of himself, Chelz is into it — but for Wags, the explanation kills the mood, like a magician revealing how the trick is done. And I call shenanigans! Figuring out why you’re into the weird stuff you’re into makes it more fun, not less.
a few counterpoints:
from 4x02 onward, billions kind of has treated chuck’s masochism as a marker of psychological dysfunction (overton window speech notwithstanding) and his loss of interest in it over the past two seasons as a sign of positive personal growth.
how much credit does billions deserve for portraying kink positively in the sex lives of certain characters if simultaneously it’s shitting on certain other characters for having (or even wanting) sex lives at all?
are we sure wags and chelz are married? i think that would come up if it had happened. (i know the audio description for this episode refers to her as his wife, but it’s been wrong before.)
in wags’s case, i can believe that having his kink explained would cause him to lose interest. remember how he promised wendy he wasn’t seeing dr. mayer by saying “i prefer those depths unplunged”? this man does NOT want to know himself.
Vulture: Billions Recap: Pissing in the Wind
another four-star rating. who is making you do this, sarene?
“The Owl” is the last, what I would call, “casual” episode. Its minimal plotlines set the stage for the chaos that will ensue over the final four episodes. That’s not a spoiler: remember that we’re still owed three more Axe episodes. And Axe + Billions = chaos.
it can be a spoiler if i bring the plot summaries of the last four episodes into it! but yes, i agree, we’re finally at the stage where things really get wild, even if there wasn’t a proper midseason turning point. watch out for those tempo changes, man, ‘cause when we go into the second bridge last third of the season, this shit takes off.
Before Prince can start communing with nature and the political elite, though, he must solve a problem for his wife, Andy. Apparently, a “friend” of hers was climbing a mountain on the Nepal/China border before tackling Mount Everest, and now he’s injured and trapped on the Chinese side. Oh, and he’s more than just a “friend.”
again with the vagueness! won’t anyone be forthright and say that andy fucked this guy? or at the very least that she slept with him?
As soon as Fourth talks about listening to “new voices” who can lead the country to even more greatness and he dismisses Governor Dunlop’s viewpoints on nuclear weapons usage as “sensible,” it’s game over. Prince almost doesn’t even need to say out loud that he would, without hesitation, bomb a hostile country with plans to launch an attack. But he does. Because Mike Prince feels fine with the end of the world as we know it. In his mind, that’s a better decision than leading with hesitation, which he claims would be Governor Dunlop’s approach. While most gasp in horror, Fourth is impressed, calling Prince’s viewpoint “a nuance few are brave enough to voice” and the embodiment of America’s core value, “strength of nation.” This is how the 2016 election happened, folks…
*long and loud sigh*
From where Fourth stands, Chuck is small potatoes, and Mike Prince is the man who can Make America Great Again.
*longer and louder sigh*
People sure do weird things when they’re given a lot of power. And in case you really weren’t sure that Mike Prince is the latest Billions character to sell his soul to the devil, the episode’s final images should clear things right up. The Owl retreat concludes with the male attendees, wearing dark, hooded cloaks (better dark than white, I guess) and carrying torches, setting a giant wooded owl statue aflame to the haunting tune of Bob Dylan’s “Blind Willie McTell.” Good grief, this country is bizarre.
can you please not jump on the “WOAH THEY WERE TOTALLY DOING A SATANIC ILLUMINATI RITUAL TO MOLOCH AT THE END THERE” train? i’ve already seen enough of that on twitter.
I deliberately refuse to discuss the Wags-Chels subplot for two reasons: (1) It felt like a leftover storyline from another season that the writers wanted to squeeze in before Billions concluded. (2) I. Hate. That. Baby. Shower. Game. With. Every. Fiber. Of. My. Being.
this is how i first found out that that was a real baby shower game. i hate it here. and yes, it felt like something that belonged into an earlier season, when neither wendy nor wags had anything better to do — such as, say, working on that plan to topple their would-be authoritarian boss when he happened to be three hundred miles away for two days — than analyzing wags’s new weird kink.
Fan Fun with Damian Lewis (Damianista): Billions on Showtime, Season 7 Episode 8: The Owl
damianista did not do a recap of this episode.
Entertainment Weekly: Billions recap: Into the woods
It's only when Michael Prince (Corey Stoll) decides he needs to attend the retreat that Chuck thinks twice about going.
incorrect! chuck goes because he knows dunlop and fourth will be there and wants to encourage him to endorse her rather than prince, but he has no idea prince will be attending until he arrives and sees prince there.
Complicating all of this, Andy (Piper Perabo) needs a favor. A friend of hers has disappeared while mountain climbing, and they can't use a beacon to coordinate a rescue because the man took an alternate route and crossed into China. Doing so would alert the Chinese government and he'd be held hostage. So Andy asks for Prince to coordinate a private, secret rescue using his connections. Prince does so despite the fact that if they get caught, his campaign is over, and despite his complicated feelings about the man being rescued, who's one of Andy's romantic connections in their open marriage.
“one of andy’s romantic connections” is the most explicit anyone’s gotten so far! congratulations!
All of this represents a shift in Prince's persona. He's becoming harsher, more cynical, and completely focused on his need for power. He's finally turning into the man everyone's been worried about.
he’s BEEN that man, kyle. that’s the point.
Fan Fun with Damian Lewis (Gingersnap): The Unbeatable, Unstoppable, Unparalleled MVPs from Billions Season 7 Episode 8, “The Owl”
Gingersnap Supreme Sleazeball Swerdlow Sayings in a Scene…AGAIN – He’s back! Slimeball doc is back, this time wearing a prison-orange, head-to-toe, Karl Kani tracksuit to The Owl’s winter conclave. […] And it doesn’t stop there – the Doc simulates ghastly hip thrusts when groaning the word “uh!” as he names off kinky sexual acts like postillionage and croissant (too many urban dictionary definitions to count),
maybe you would have found the right urban dictionary definition if you’d looked up cuissade, which is what he actually said and was spelled clearly in the captions. (and neither of those things are particularly kinky unless you’re incredibly straight.)
Benedict Arnold Citation– Griffin Dunne, who played George Pike, IV aka “Fourth” in this episode. Dunne also played Dr. Alcon Parfit in Succession. Only traitors act in both Billions and Succession and I find it deplorable when one is defecting across enemy lines, but he wasn’t the first defector.
🙄🙄🙄
Damianista […] Greatest Entrance – Governor Nancy Dunlop The badass Montana governor shows up at The Owl with these words to the old, rich, white men that I am talking about above. “Hey boys! Are you cold? Some of you seem cold. I saw a few of you answering the call in the trees back there. They were definitely cold.”
yes, of course. what could be greater and more badass than walking up to a group of people and going “haha small penis.”
Beginning of a Beautiful Friendship – Wendy and Andy While their relationship did not start off on the right foot, it seems Wendy and Andy bond over Andy’s grief when it is not the Tiger Team but the Chinese officials who are able to reach Derek first! I think Andy deep down knows why the best rescue team in the world has not been able to do it and I suspect she may join the opposition against Prince presidency in the weeks to come!
what do you mean “deep down.” she knows why the team couldn’t get derek out and she said it out loud to prince’s face.
Lady Trader […] The “Don’t Put All Your Eggs in One Basket” Award: Did Mike Prince really just pull all of his money, both personal and the funds, out of every international investment? What a very foolish and short-sighted thing to so. The losses his would take would be tremendous, not to mention how he would move the markets on certain investments, and would never be able to get “market prices.” What a moron.
[midsommar imdb parents guide “a man is constantly seen vaping” tumblr post voice] oh if that’s all
The “Vision I Never Want to See” Award: The thought of those old, wrinkly men playing naked Twister just brought up my breakfast! Gross!
disrespectful to old men who fuck each other. apologize now.
